The Marist track and field team returned to action this past weekend at the NYU Fastrack Invitational held at the New York City Armory.
Junior Jillian Corley, from North Sutton, NH, led the way for the women's team. Shortly after finishing the 800-meter run in a season-best time, Corley ran a season-best in the mile. Corley finished the 800 in a time of 2:22.99 and followed it up by finishing the mile in a time of 5:17.77.
"That was a really good double for her, especially going into the big meet this weekend," Marist coach Pete Colaizzo said.
Sophomore Brianna Crowe also ran a season-best time in the 800, crossing the finish line in 2:20.58.
The men's team also saw a few personal best times, particularly in the 3,000-meter run.
Freshmen Arquimedes DelaCruz and Sean Nestor each notched personal best times in the 3,000. DelaCruz finished the event in 8:47.44 while Nestor improved on his personal-best time and crossed the line in 9:04.58.
Patrick Dugan just missed his personal best time in the race, finishing in 8:55.14; one second off his career mark.
"He [Dugan] is one of the hardest workers on the team," Colaizzo said. "He had a great indoor season."
The Red Foxes will next travel to Boston, Mass. to compete on March 6-7. The women's team will be competing in the ECAC Championships while the men will be competing in the IC4A Championships. This is the final scheduled event for the Marist track and field team and is for select runners who have qualified based on times throughout the indoor season.
Corley, Crowe, Jackie Gamboli, and Kimberly Bartlett will all be competing for the women's team in the 4x800-meter relay.
"We are really hoping for the school record in the 4x800," Colaizzo said.
The following runners will be competing for the men's team: sophomores Will Griffin and Matt Flint in the 3,000, graduate students Girma Segni and David Raucci in the 5,000, and a Distance Medley Relay team of seniors Matthew Janczyk and Colin Frederickson, freshmen Matt Panebianco and Arquimedes Delacruz.
"For the guys we are looking for personal-bests," Colaizzo said. "If they can run personal-bests they will all do very well."
